The runaway bride and the boy in the beanie.

Chapter 29- Hard times

Have you very had that feeling? When someone is talking to you but all you can hear is your heartbeat and the persons voice sounds muffled like your underwater.
That's how Maya felt.
That's how Josh felt.
And the baby?
Well
The baby felt nothing.

For when Maya had that awful pain and Lucas had to take her to the hospital, that's when the baby died. A mis-carriage. They said it rather slowly and in a matter of fact tone. They said it as though the words were acid and the best way to say them was to avoid them or tiptoe round them until the best time for them to be heard came. Maya felt nothing.
Josh felt nothing.
The baby was dead.
Maya had to stay in the hospital for surgery so Josh was sent home to collect her things. She lay in the sickly green hospital room staring at the slight bump that would soon be removed. It was far to big to pass now and keeping it in their would hurt Maya's health. The baby was to be removed tomorrow. Or as soon as possible. It had to go or else the body would keep feeding the baby and not Maya because part of her brain where the motherly instinct comes from was controlling the body. So even though the baby was dead, the brain insisted that the body feed it. It's a very clinical way of showing denial.

The strange thing was, Maya didn't feel pain like she had at first. The doctors said she would. She didn't. Obviously. Instead she felt nothing. She felt numb. As though she wasn't in control. Maya hated that. She tried to convince her body to act normal, to experience the pain. The baby was gone. Stop feeding it. The body of course did not listen. It kept feeding the child to the largest extent. All throughout the night.

Josh was sat in the car-park of the hospital with his head in his hands. He would never admit it but a solitary tear rolled down his cheek as e thought of the baby he had lost and all the amazing memories and times that they would have had together. He hurt even more when he thought of Maya's face when we heard the news. First her mother and then the baby. Poor Maya. He thought. Poor poor Maya. It was then he decided he wanted nothing more than to go and see her so he grabbed the overnight bag with her clothes and started to make his way back to the hospital.
Maya was asleep when he got to her room. She deserved it. She must have been exhausted. Anyone would be. So Josh sat next to her in the crappy plastic chair and stroked her pretty face. She was so beautiful. So very beautiful. He moved her golden hair from her forehead and placed a small kiss there. Then he laid his head on her stomach. Then, he fell asleep.

He awoke because he felt something. A kick or a slight push or something. Straight from her stomach. He wondered if it was good digesting but then remembered she was on a liquid diet that went straight to her bloodstream. Was it gas? No that would be her chest or the other place. Could it have been? No. The baby's dead, he told himself. It's not possible. Still, maybe he could get someone to look.
Someone looked.
Someone checked.
Someone analysed.
Someone double checked.
Someone told them the good news.
It had been twins.
There were two babies.
And one.
Well.
It was alive.
